Chay Garden & Vinamilk join hands for a creative plant-based dining experience
From November 4 to 12, 2025, Chay Garden introduced a series of creative vegetarian dishes featuring plant-based creamers, offering a fresh perspective on wholesome, nutrient-rich cuisine while continuing to affirm the spirit of “modern vegetarian dining” that the restaurant pursues.
Set within the lush, tranquil garden space of Chay Garden Thảo Điền, this fully plant-based culinary experience – created in collaboration with Vinamilk’s 9-Nut Creamer – delivered a memorable gastronomic week for diners.
Creative vegetarian dishes inspired by 9-Nut Creamer
Throughout the program, exclusive vegetarian creations prepared by Chay Garden’s culinary team using 9-Nut Creamer received enthusiastic praise from guests, who appreciated the fresh breakthrough it brought to vegetarian cuisine.
The six featured dishes included Pumpkin Soup, Creamy Pasta, Mushrooms in Butter Sauce, Passion Fruit Dressing Salad, Sesame Dressing Salad, and Panna Cotta—variations that demonstrated how fully plant-based ingredients can create a rich, refined, and diverse culinary palette.
In these dishes, Chay Garden maximized the nutty aroma, creamy richness, and plant-based purity of the 9-Nut Creamer. Beyond being a tasting experience, they also represented Chay Garden’s broader direction: developing innovative vegetarian dishes that remain gentle, wholesome, and accessible to all diners.
A delightful highlight: the “secret phrase” unlocking flavor
Alongside the dining experience, Vinamilk accompanied Chay Garden with a booth set in the middle of the garden, where guests could stop by to learn more about the 9-Nut Creamer and receive gifts.
Activities at the booth were lively throughout the program. Simply by checking in at the booth, posting on their personal social media, and reciting the magic phrase “Fragrant, nutty, creamy – bringing vegetarian dishes to life,” guests immediately received a gift bag filled with nuts, including one tube of 9-Nut Creamer and a cookbook featuring creative vegetarian recipes to try at home.
Nestled in the garden, where soft sunlight and greenery created a relaxed atmosphere, the booth activities – though simple – sparked curiosity and joy, becoming a highlight that many guests eagerly shared on social media.
Attracting advocates of a wholesome lifestyle
The program drew attention from many KOLs, particularly those who pursue a healthy lifestyle and have expertise in the culinary field. Among them, Chef Cường Tofu stood out as a notable guest who came to experience the event and offered high praise for the vegetarian dishes using creamer.
From a chef’s perspective, Cường Tofu highly appreciated the way Chay Garden handled plant-based ingredients with a refined, modern approach – preserving the lightness of vegetarian dishes while adding enough creativity to leave a strong impression. Positive feedback from culinary professionals became a strong motivation for Chay Garden to further expand the boundaries of vegetarian cuisine.
A collaboration opening up new possibilities
This partnership not only brought added value to diners but also introduced a fresh way of looking at plant-based cuisine. The 9-Nut Creamer served as a bridge for both brands to spread a shared message: choosing vegetarian food today is not only about health, but also about enjoying flavors in a creative, delicious, and sustainable way.
For Chay Garden, the collaboration was an opportunity to showcase vegetarian dishes made with modern plant-based ingredients, aligning with the growing green-eating trend among both local and international diners. For Vinamilk, the program helped consumers better understand the versatility and creative potential of next-generation plant-based dairy alternatives.
After one week, the program recorded 3,000 participating diners, numerous positive responses, and hundreds of check-ins at the booth. The atmosphere in the Chay Garden during those days was filled with energy, brightness, and warmth—true to the spirit the restaurant strives to cultivate.
